Hi,
I have a HP Phoenix h9-1100eb.
Recently, my graphic card crashed (Radeon 7950) and was replaced in a local shop by a old GTX 660 Ti.
They told me that it was not possible to install a more recent graphic card. Do you agree with them ?
If not, which most recent graphic card could be compatible with my mother card ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
David

Yes, David, I do agree with them. The cards newer than the GTX 660 Ti require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS. HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012 with the release of Win 8. According to the information that I can find on your computer it was released in 2011. The BIOS can't be upgraded to UEFI. I wish I had better news for you!
